Question SF Fuel SYS. W/O Turbo ?

If i have the sf kit and cant install the whole turbo for a while, will i get any hp gains from just installing the fuel system?

Maybe if you have a lot of mods and you tune it.

Not really - the "fuel system" which he uses references boost, which means it increases fuel pressure upon boost. So essentially it won't do anything but make noise (if the pump runs) - your fuel pressure would remain the same.

IDQcivic should not be trusted
yeah but he could still install it now, so it would be one less thing to do later right?

It actually raises the base fuel pressure by about 5 psi. So it may yield some gains.

Also, will it harm anything on my car or even anything on the sf fuel system?

I personally don't think it will hurt anything to install the fuel system early.....You might run a tad rich if it increases fuel pressure by 5 PSI without running your turbo. I live in Orlando (when I'm there, since I travel for work).....Plan on being back next week!!

i dont know what hooking it up entails but try it, running rich really wont do anything, its running lean that can cause probs, running rich means alot of fuel, sometimes at idle it could stall, just sitting there letting fuel build up and then pressing the accelerator all of a sudden
